Mmm

Birthday thoughts

Vedan coming in and wishing me happy birthday with a big old grin, pleased as he presents flowers and small trinket gifts like a penguin presenting pebbles

Listening to him chatter and catches a snippet of him saying he tried baking me cake

I stop him there and ask where

"...What?"

The cake. Where's the cake.

Silence fills the room and he leaves for a moment.

He comes back in slowly with a platter of charred black batter and sets it among the trinkets.

Dead silence as we stare at each other.

He reaches into a coat pocket and pulls out a canister of frosting and places it by the platter.

Nothing is said or asked. I just take the frosting and thank him. He immediately becomes chattery and cheery again and pushes the platter out of the way, gathering all the trinkets and flowers again like nothing happened.

I immediately fall even more in love with his stupid ass because what.
